This standard specifies preparation of test piece and specimens. The purpose is to determine mechanical properties of all-weld metal where required by the consumable classification standard or for other purposes in the arc welding of steel, nickel and nickel alloys.
This standard is not applicable to single- or two-pass welding or fillet welding. For these cases, EN 1597-2 and EN 1597-3 apply.
